And so Rick set off into the sunset, never to be seen again. Goodbye, old friend.

Reel it in, @Rick310 There's another forum where you can get away with trash talking X-Plane and its users. https://www.avsim.com/forums/ We discuss things in a mature fashion in these forums.

"I may have to go into the attack mode and open up the way I really feel." "I am not going to bow down to this. Your going slam me I will return fire." "I will not back down from anyone. So if you feel froggy jump. BRING IT! On the other hand, I have ask this thread be locked and you refused. Now this is your fault." Your own words. Your own pushing. Enough.

Rick310 said this.. "Most people that know me personally, call me an a#$hole'" and then proceeded to make several posts to prove it is true !

The Just Flight Arrow III has a hidden button to enable altitude hold. I know you're out of the Arrow at the moment, but I'll see if I can't locate the click spot if you like.

Yeah baby , I am still in control. Never quit, never shut up. No one is going to push around.

Stop being weird, @Rick310. That's my one and only warning to you.

Posting a picture of X-Plane using an in development addon that likely has many bugs to iron out before release is not exactly representative of much. I'd be willing to bet good money that CTD was caused by the addon being showcased (which also made clear on-screen that it was work in progress). This is the kind of rationale I would expect from a child. Just don't. That's not exactly something to be proud of.

Goes to show that a lot of folks are interested in VA flying. Keep your windshield pointed toward the sky.

I enjoy reading both your blog and @Rick310's blog. I gotta say, you're lucky that those downdrafts and windshear associated with cumulonimbus clouds didn't break the wings off that Citation jet. Keep up the shenanigans guys - not always 'blue skies' right?

So flying in xplane. Was doing some fuel testing for the 560xl. Nice plane for first attempt, but I think many would have preferred the default FMS than a GPS. Any way this was a few weeks ago. Flew YBBN Brisbane to YBCS Cairns. Could only go to 25000, winds where 105kts on the nose higher got worse really extended my flight time, lower didnt make it much better, bit of a compromise. After few days later flew YBCS to YSSY Sydney, 39000, winds where 90 kts from a tad S of E so wasnt too bad, longer distance but fuel burn abt same due to previous winds. A few days ago while working on FACT Capetown, I spawned to do some checks, spawned into a massive thunder storm and never seeing rain so heavy in xplane. Checking on you tube later I found out they where having floods. Certainly XP weather massive improvement. Cant wait to see what 0.06 brings.

HI, Try with this version: https://blog.x-plugins.com/2023/02/gizmo64-version-23.html It runs perfectly for me and even is valid for Mac M1 processors Native Mode

we've been listening to these type of claims for 20+ years. Granted that differing folks use different words to describe how they feel about things.....to each their own.....but this is simply bombastic IMO. Have you ever thought about writing for CNN or Fox News? Your commentary would be absolutely SHOCKING, the likes of which have never been heard in the history of the world. -tkyler

Yes every one bags XP, as i have said before, we have so many experts out there, im surprised we dont have a dozen other perfect sims. when xplane goes through these cycle, all developers can chat with Laminar as to whats going on, thats why they sometimes hold back, which i think is the case with the .06 update, Id be surprised if developers dont make up part of the testing team, they would be silly not to. Like any updates, one fixes the worst things first than get to the less important things later, thats what Laminar is doing. I be surprised that they are not aware of the XLUA and SSL issues. but some things arent as easy to fix as some would think. Im a patient person, I was born at a time where parents had nothing and we where given out of there poverty, so we appreciate everything we get. How things have changed. Back on topic. Lets wait see what Laminar brings up.

Thanks for your opinion Stu. It seems obvious to me that a million users of X-Plane 12 at $60 can easily support 25 motivated core programmers at Laminar. They don't have Microsoft overhead nor have they given the reigns to a third party. They will also commit to XP12 for as long as it takes, not promise 10 years and rescind after 3, with a sloppy and buggy product which will cost another $120 bucks... Modus Operandi comes to mind!

All the developers have input and in site into what Laminar is doing, there is no easy way to change the guts of a flight sim without problems, and since the only way forward is to get rid of legacy stuff that is holding the sim back, it was bound to cause pain, but for all the pain, we get a far superior sim. "Appalling", really?. We still have our biggest developers with us. Xplane isnt about pretty graphics, its teh underlying engime simulation and flight model tha tchanges as new things are discovered to make it more real, like N1 and N2 being separated in XP12 to make engine start ups more real, like aircon and gen now adding load to engine which causes it to run hotter etc, this is what makes this sim different from the rest. I doubt the complaints will ever end.

It is pretty clear Austin has been perfectly happy operating in the background of MSFS since inception, and has no illusions of keeping up with the MS juggernaut in whatever direction they are heading. The only difference, as mentioned in his latest interview, is that it now takes a team of 25 instead of 3 to achieve his next goals for the sim. I do wonder if revenues can support this large a team with new versions coming out every 4-5 years.

I'm campaigning for this to Laminar.....the ability to exclude light sources from reflective surfaces...but as of this moment, I don't believe we can. I'll squeeze in a quick report here also. Just completed all the interior cabin texturing....at least 99.5% of it....and now I'm working on the lighting for the rear galley. Lighting for cabin/front galley already done. Next week some time I'll begin the final punchlist items list and we'll start looking to wrap things up to package for release...that's not an overnight step, lots of checks have to be made, but we're definitely coming to the end of this V12 port + process. I'm going to start calling this the "V12 compatibility patch + (plus)"....becuase its exactly that. A port of the existing V11 functionality to V12, PLUS a few extra 3D stuffs thrown in. I want to make sure people understand this isn't some "V2" with all new 3D throughout, revised FMS/VNAV etc.....that work comes after this release...this is to get folks flying the 733 in V12. Here's a update screenshot of the new cabin/rear galley....the works that's been going on the last 4 weeks. -tkyler

Good point. Got it thanks. I'm flying (in real life) the older G2.

I believe the difference here is the wing generation. The G3 had the "G5" wing for the latter part of the production which has the increased fuel capacity. We've modeled the newer wing.

These pictures also prove nothing, especially since the picture is too low res to read the dialog box. And, where is the Log.txt file that I asked you to post?

Delicious! 1st picture - Left - How it started... 2nd picture - Right - How it ended... Guess the location! QED - "Quod Erat Demonstrandum" or if your latin is rusty, "That which was to be proven/demonstrated"

Not the answer I was looking for, but I get it. Not your department. I have not bought x-plane 12 for reasons I have already shared on x-pilot.com. Thank-you for your time, Sir. I have yet to see a brand new flight simulator just released that ain't a piece of garbage. I bought x-plane 11 in 2019, two years after it was released and I have had 5 CTD's since I bought the simulator. And x-plane 12 after two years of being released will be stable and have plenty of 3rd party stuff available.

Ok, this is enough. I did not mean to start a sh@# storm. @tkyler Please lock this tread. It is getting ugly.

Ok, I think Laminar will fix X-plane 12 in time. I said it once and I will say it again. Every flight simulator just released is garbage. Look at FSX when it first was released. That was a real piece of work. I remember hearing about x-plane 11 when it first came out, same stuff. X-plane is not going away, Austin has too much invested and he likes the money also. I will wait two years and look at X-plane 12 again. For now I will keep enjoying X-plane 11. And x-plane 11 will look really good with my new top end computer coming in mid July. Thank-you for your comments. This forum will let the sh#$ fly. Cool.

Looks like this forum will let the Sh#$ fly. I have all ways tried to be nice. I may have to go into the attack mode and open up the way I really feel.

So Austin pays you money sit in this forum and tell paying customers that their wrong? Your co worker Ben will answer any and all questions to the best of his knowledge. And you answer no questions? Why? How much do you really know about x-plane period? If anything at all. I wonder what Austin would say if he heard what you were saying to paying customers? Customers all ways right when you are in business. Not your department. Kiss my A#$.

Because you do not know how to fly anything. You just talk BS.

I am not trashing x-plane. I love x-plane. I have ask this thread to be locked and you refused to do it, because it was getting ugly before I went on the attack mode. I have no problem discussing things in a mature fashion. I did not think you would censor people in here. I guess I was wrong.

I started the thread because this is what I read on Fselite.com. And I stated before that every new flight simulator that just gets released is garbage. And right now x-plane 12 is garbage. But I know Laminar will fix it in time. And at some point is time I will buy x-plane 12. Remember the what FSX looked like when it got released? Trash. Yes I was deliberatily looking for an argument. Insult a Laminar employee, yes, but he deserved it. I pushed to see how far I could go because you would not lock a thread that I started and I admit I should of never started. Words never hurt me, I have called every name in the book and what you have posted above is mostly true. But since you have asked me nicely to de-escalate the situation. Consider it done. Most people that know me personally, call me an a#$hole.

I do not care what people think of me or say about me. Words will never hurt me. I will not back down from anyone. So if you feel froggy jump. BRING IT! On the other hand, I have ask this thread be locked and you refused. Now this is your fault.

But I guess when you have the power to kick someone out. You have the freedom to say anything want without being fire back at. I am not going to bow down to this. Your going slam me I will return fire.

I am not being weird. I am being me. Why do you continue to push?

Every one has an opinion. I have had worst things said about me. Is this the best you got? I am sure you can do better than this. Again, someone with power to kick me out. Has the freedom to say what they want. But God forbid I fire back. If you going to kick me, what you waiting for. I will not shut up. Opinions are like A#$holes, everyone has got one.

From what I see on FSElite.net. MSFS2024 has taken center stage at the FlightSim Expo 2023. And most of the Developers are focused on MSFS2020 and MSFS2024. Except for the developers here at x-pilot.com. Sorry x-plane fans, No question in my mind, X-plane 12 has taken a back seat at the FlightSim Expo 2023. Austin and LR better pick up their game if they want to keep up with Mircrosoft. Now would be the time for Austin to STEP IT UP! Or X-plane 12 will crash and burn. And Microsoft will be in full control of the flight sim world again. If they are not already??? NOT me, X-plane forever. Mircrosoft can kiss my a@#. Just calling it like I see it.

What are you talking about? What interview? No one is going to interview you. You don't know nothing. You are full of BS. Do you even know how fly an airplane in any simulator? I don't think so. Every question I have ask you about flying, you can not answer. Because you know nothing about flying that's why.

You ain't nothing. Move on. Fuck you.
